Any of your K1000 lenses will all work without adapters. They will NOT work automatically. You will have to use them in manual mode. Additionally, any of our old lenses will appear to be 50% longer (e.g., a 50mm lens will become the equivalent of a 75mm lens).

If it's a K mount , yes. Mine came with the correct mount for Pentax. I have a K20D and a K5.

Hi, thanks question. This lens can work for Pentax K-30, K-50. Thanks in advance.

I know it will probably work with the K50 since it is the upgrade for my K30. I would suggest you Google pentax.com with this question. I have a feeling it probably will work but I don't want to lead you astray!

Larry, I've seen reviews that have said Sigma And Tamron lenses work well on the Pentax body. As long as you have the correct lens mount - I think its called a Bayonet Mount, so it should fit the camera. I think the information offered by Pentax Indicated all their lenses would work on the K20d, even a screw mount lens if you have an adaptoor. The Older Manual Pentax lenses will work but some features may be lost when photographing. For example If your using a Pentax SMC - M lens there will be no digital read out for the lens opening on the camera's LED screens and some of the lens information won't be stored with the photo's properties. With an M lens I think you are restricted to be able to only use a few of the camera modes like Manual and Bulb. I haven't read enough of the manual to fully understand it all. I mainly shoot in Manual while using the Pentax SMC-M lens. Pentax SMC-A Lenses will work in in all modes, I believe. If your using a manual Pentax SMC-A lens and have the apperature ring set on "A" then the camera wil record the correct lens information when the camera's shutter is tripped, it will also display the info in the camera's digital readout.. Any of the Pentax Bayonet Mount lenses that say they are for the DSLR will fit the camera. I have the Pentax SMC DA18-250mm, the 10-17mm Fish Eye and the 12-24nn Wide Angle. All are wonderful lenses. I have manual lenses That I used in the 1990's on my Pentax K1000 that I occassionally use on my K20D, They include a 150mm M Lens, 28mm A Lens, a 50mm A and M lens and a Tamron 250mm zoom lens. The 50mm has a lens opening of 1.7 Good Luck, Moose

Is this lens compatible with my PENTAX K100D SLR? Will the auto focus work? Will I be able to use the scene function of my camera?

You could check the Pentax website, however, the lens is a K mount so I would say yes it will work. I actually returned the Pentax 18-270mm and opted for the Sigma copy. After comparing the two side by side, I actually thought the photos were better quality with the Sigma. It has become my go-to lens. All of my other lenses are Pentax and I love them as well.

Generally the answer is yes. However today i discovered that I have a Sigma 28mm lens that mounts on every pentax film camera I own, but that lens will NOT mount on my Pentax K-x DSLR. I am trying to find out why, and if that can be fixed, and I am close to ordering a K-30 myself, and am curious if it will mount to that Sigma lens!

Well.... technically yes. After all, "Pentax claims that all their auto-focus cameras are backward compatible with K-mount lenses dating back as far as 1975 without need for an adapter." But there are major trade offs. The camera cannot read the set f-stop of K and M series lens. You won't be able to take advantage of the autofocus options. You may need to manually set aperture. You'll have to compensate for the smaller digital chip size as compared to 35mm film. But technically the lens is will work. You'll likely get better results from upgrading to a lens designed for use with the digital camera. The K-5 II does offer full manual control options that will let it resemble the Pentax ME. Well... except for maybe the film advance lever and rewind crank.

Yes. M mount lens ( 1970's etc ) can be made to fit with an M to K adapter. The K5's are all K mounts. All D DA and DA* lens are made to fit perfectly with APS C chip.The M lens were obviously made to fit 35 mm film since that's all we had back then. You won't have any of the digital functions since there is no way to make contact with the mount sensors. It forces you to shoot manual. Other than that minor issue, Pentax glass is still considered some of the best glass ever made.

It comes with an adapter that works in my Pentax K-5, so I would think it would work on yours.

It depends on the seller, the Pentax K1000 is a manual 35mm Single Reflex Lens camera body. What this means is the body has a "mount", in this case the Pentax K-mount that will take hundreds of lenses with K-mount or with the appropriate adapter. Often the camera is sold with a lens, 50mm f/2 for example, but you must ensure it is sold with this from the seller. Best bet is to contact the seller directly. Typically if it is just the camera it will state "body only" or "without lens" but depends on the seller. According to the description it states "with 50mm f/2.0 lens" which is the "standard" starter lens for film.

Yes, this lens is fully compatible with any Pentax K-mount camera (including film models) - especially the latest models such as a K-3. I have a K-5 and K-5SII and it works perfectly. Even though it's a 100 mm, it's my go-to lens for most every application (except for panoramic vistas - that's when I use my HD 15mm).

I did not need an adapter for my Pentax, so if you order a flash that fits a Sony then no you will not need an adapter, if the description of the flash does not say it fits a Sony, I would not order it, make sure it says it will fit a Sony before ordering, I hope that helps.

Yes it should. All pentax lenses old and new works on their modern cameras. So the answer is yes.

You should be able to get any kind of C-mount or adaptor ring for you Pentax. I had to buy one for my Nikon so this lens would fit. The only thing is it is a fully manual lens so you need to put your camera to manual due to it not recognizing that there is a lens even attached... this is a fun lens to use though. Amazing photos of the moon.

Hello, If the adapter allows you to mount the lens to the camera it will work but, you may have to focus manually. I am not familiar with your camera model so, check the owners manual about whether or not it will be able to use autofocus. Great lens by the way. I really liked it when I had my Pentax.
